Geography

Congo is one of the eight states that make up Central Africa. Situated astride the equator it extends over 1,500 kilometers, from the shores of the Gulf of Guinea to the Central African Republic.

The Congo is sometimes called Congo-Brazzaville to avoid confusing it with the Democratic Republic of the Congo also called Congo-Kinshasa.
It was also known as the People’s Republic of the Congo (1969-1992).

Congo features A 170-kilometer-long maritime frontage and is located in the heart of the second largest river basin on the planet: the Congo River and its tributaries. On its own territory there are no fewer than thirty rivers and rivers navigable all year round: Kouilou, Niari, Bouenza, Alima, Nkeni, Lefini, Sangha, Likouala, etc.

This hydraulic richness makes it one of the most fertile countries on the African continent, with lush forests where one finds the rarest species of wood (limba, okoumé, mahogany, sapelli, sipo …).
